MnDOT: Highway 610 Construction Project Underway In Maple Grove

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – With the warmer weather comes construction season in Minnesota.

On Monday, The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced that construction has begun on an expansion of Highway 610 between Elm Creek Boulevard and Interstate 94 in the northwest Minneapolis suburb of Maple Grove.

Construction crews will be building a new bridge at 105th Avenue over the interstate, between Holly Lane on the east and a new intersection on the west with 101st Avenue, MnDOT said.

Crews will also realign 105th Avenue and build an intersection at 105th Avenue and Holly Lane.

Drivers are encouraged to slow down in the work zone and drive carefully around equipment.

MnDOT says the Highway 610 project is part of the Corridors of Commerce operation, which is designed to reduce travel times and improve safety in the metro.
